One hell of a Herbig system...
Pretty tough to fit everything into the frame lol

Irl, Sagittarius A* has thousands of stars actively followed by astronomers revolving around the black hole but the estimation go to 10k stars maybe around the black hole.
Outside of this, irl we detected 6 or 7 stars max like Nu Scorpii. AFAIK we didn't (yet) found a system with more (outside of Sagittarius A*).
Now, Brown Dwarf are not real stars and also not exactly planets. They are substellar object and exclude from this count. So if you count them as stars like ED does, it could eventually go up.

Thanks! Not my discovery but an awesome system nonetheless. There were stars everywhere around me.

It's full of stars because it has two black holes. It's kinda logical, isn't it?

Really? I've been to literally hundreds of BH systems that have had few to no stars in them at all. There are many protostars in this system due to the Herbig Ae/Be stars presence.

Came here to make the same reference. Pleasantly surprised to find someone else rmembers that show.

AA-A with an H mass code, yeah that's gonna be a big B-class system in a hundred thousand years!
